Voice Types (Characteristics)

The particular type of Voice is indicated at the upper left of the Voice name in the Voice Selection display. The defining characteristics of these Voices and their performance advantages are described below.

S.Art!

(Super Articulation)

S.Art2!

(Super Articulation2)

Live!

Tyros5 Reference Manual

These Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive control in real time.

For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a very legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath.

Similarly with the Concert Guitar Voice and play the D note strongly, the D note would sound as a

“hammer on,” without the string being plucked again. Depending on how you play, other effects such as “shaking” or breath noises (for the Trumpet Voice), or finger noises (for the Guitar Voice) are produced.

For details on how to best play each S.Art! Voice, call up the information window (pressing the

[6 ] (INFO) button in the Voice Selection display).

For wind instrument Voices and Violin Voices, a special technology called AEM (see below) has been used, which features detailed samples of special expressive techniques used on those specific instruments—to bend or slide into notes, to “join” different notes together, or to add expressive nuances at the end of a note, etc. You can add these articulations by playing legato or non-legato, or by jumping in pitch by around an octave. For example, using the Clarinet Voice, if you hold a C note and play the Bb above, you’ll hear a glissando up to the Bb. Some “note off” effects are also produced automatically when you hold a note for over a certain time. Each S.Art2! Voice has its own default vibrato setting, so that when you select a S.Art2! Voice, the appropriate vibrato is applied regardless of the Modulation wheel position. You can adjust the vibrato by moving the

Modulation wheel.

For details on how to best play each S.Art2! Voice, call up the information window (pressing the

[6 ] (INFO) button in the Voice Selection display).

These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly authentic, rich sound—full of atmosphere and ambience.

MegaVoice

These Voices use sophisticated programming to capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of electric instruments.

These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated technology—and feature a finely detailed and natural sound.

Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard.

Various special effect sounds and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard.

These are high-quality drum sounds that take full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic Sampling.

These are various high-quality special effect sounds and percussion sounds that take full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic sampling.

These authentic organ Voices let you adjust the various footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See

page 17 for details.

These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound.

For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data—especially when you want to avoid using several different

Voices just for a single instrument part.

NOTE

S.Art!, S.Art2! and Mega Voices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you’ve created on this instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not have these types of Voices.

NOTE

S.Art!, S.Art2! and Mega Voices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply a HARMONY/ECHO effect, change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.

NOTE

The characteristics of S.Art2! Voices (default vibrato setting and articulation effects applied by the [ART] buttons) are effective for real-time performance; however, these effects may not be completely reproduced when you play back a MIDI Song which has been recorded using S.Art2! Voices.

For a list of preset Voices of this instrument, refer to the “Voice List” in the Data List, available at the online Yamaha

Library.

Converting the Voices of a MIDI Song to MegaVoices (MEGAEnhancer)

MEGAEnhancer is a software program that converts XG/GM song data (Standard MIDI File) to song data specially enhanced to be played back using an instrument or tone generator containing MegaVoices. With the use of the sophisticated MegaVoices, MEGAEnhancer automatically makes conventional song files with guitar, bass, and other parts sound much more realistic and authentic. MEGAEnhancer can be downloaded from the Yamaha website.

Tyros5 Reference Manual

AEM Technology

When you play the piano, pressing a “C” key produces a definite and relatively fixed C note. When you play a wind instrument, however, a single fingering may produce several different sounds depending on the breath strength, the note length, the adding of trills or bend effects, and other performance techniques. Also, when playing two notes continuously—for example “C” and “D”—these two notes will be smoothly joined, and not sound independent as they would on a piano.

AEM (Articulation Element Modeling) is the technology for simulating this characteristic of instruments. During performance, the most appropriate sound samples are selected in sequence in real time, from huge quantities of sampled data. They are smoothly joined and sounded—as would naturally occur on an actual acoustic instrument.

This technology to smoothly join different samples enables the application of realistic vibrato. Conventionally on electronic musical instruments, vibrato is applied by moving the pitch periodically. AEM technology goes much further by analyzing and disaggregating the sampled vibrato waves, and smoothly joins the disaggregated data in real time during your performance. If you move the Modulation wheel when you play the S.Art2! Voice (using AEM technology), you can also control the depth of the vibrato, and still maintain remarkable realism.

This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the volume level of the Harmony/Echo notes generated by the Harmony/Echo effect.

This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill effects.

Determines the keyboard Part that the effect is assigned.

AUTO:

Applies the effect to the part for which PART ON/OFF is on. When more than one parts are on, the RIGHT 1 part is given priority over the RIGHT 2/3 part.

In a similar way the RIGHT 2 part is given priority over the RIGHT 3 part.

MULTI:

When more than one parts are on, the note played on the keyboard is sounded by the RIGHT 1 part and the harmonies (effect) are divided to the RIGHT

1, RIGHT 2 and RIGHT 3 parts. When only one part is on, the note played on the keyboard and effect are sounded by that part.

R1–R3:

Applies the effect to the selected part (RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2 or RIGHT 3).

NOTE

This parameter is not available for the Multi Assign type.

This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected. When this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the notes (played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to a chord played in the chord section of the keyboard.

This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set value).

Tyros5 Reference Manual

 Harmony Types

The harmony effect is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the chord specified in the chord or left-hand section shown below.

You can make these different Split Point settings according to your performance preferences.

NOTE

The “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.

NOTE

The actual operation depends on the

Split Point settings. For more information, refer to “Specifying Chords with

Your Right Hand while Playing Bass with Your Left Hand” in the Owner’s

 Multi Assign Type

The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns the notes of chords you play on the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). For example, if you play a three-note chord, the first note you press is played by the RIGHT 1 Voice, the second by the RIGHT 2 Voice, and the third by the RIGHT 3 Voice. The Multi

Assign effect is not affected by the [ACMP] and LEFT part on/off status.

 Echo Types

The Echo, Tremolo or Trill effect is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP] and the LEFT part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works when you hold down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (or the last two notes, if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes alternately.

PYTHAGOREAN

MEAN-TONE

WERCKMEISTER,

KIRNBERGER

The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.

These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies—such as choirs and a cappella singing.

This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.

This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.

Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

Style Types (Characteristics)

The particular type of Style is indicated at the upper left of the Style name in the Style Selection display. The defining characteristics of these Styles and their performance advantages are described below.

• Pro: These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined with perfect playability. The resulting accompaniment exactly follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and colorful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.

• Session: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed to add

“spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically correct—for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropriate or unexpected accompaniment.

• Free Play: These Styles are characterized by rubato performance. You can perform freely with remarkably expressive accompaniment, without being constrained by a strict tempo.

• +Audio: Indicates the Audio Style. For more information on Audio Styles, refer to the Owner’s Manual.

For the Preset Style List, refer to the Data List downloadable from Yamaha Manual Library.

Lets you specify the chord by pressing the notes making up a chord in the left hand section of the keyboard when ACMP is turned on or the Left part is turned on. For information on which notes to press for each chord, refer to the Data List (Chord Types Recognized in the

Fingered Mode) downloadable from Yamaha Manual Library, or use the Chord Tutor function on the right-half of this display.

Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered; however, the lowest note played in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play “on bass” chords. (In the

Fingered type, the root of the chord is always used as the bass note.)

Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands—for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right.

Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.).

This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played.

This type is called up automatically when the CHORD DETECTION AREA is set to

“UPPER.” In this status, the whole right-hand (UPPER) section works as the Chord section as well as melody performance. As to which key should be pressed, this is basically same as

“FINGERED,” except that “1+5,” “1+8” and Chord Cancel are not available. For more information, refer to “Specifying Chords with Your Right Hand while Playing Bass with

Your Left Hand” in the Owner’s Manual.

In this condition—called “Stop Accompaniment”—any valid chord fingerings are recognized and the chord root/type are shown in the display. Here, you can determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the Stop

Accompaniment status.

OFF:

The chord played in the chord section will not sound.

STYLE:

The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices for the Pad part and the Bass channel of the selected Style.

FIXED:

The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice, regardless of the selected Style.

NOTE

When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to “STYLE.”

NOTE

When you record a Song, the chord detected by playing the Stop Accompaniment can be recorded regardless of the setting here. Please note that both the sounding Voice and chord data is recorded when set to

“STYLE,” and only the chord data is recorded when set to “OFF” or “FIXED.”

Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator)

The Style Creator function lets you create your original Style by recording the rhythm pattern via the keyboard and using already-recorded Style data. Basically, select a preset Style that is closest to the type you want to create, then record the rhythm pattern, bass line, chord backing, or phrase (referred to as “Source Pattern” in the Style Creator) for each channel of each Section.

 Style Data Structure—Consisting of Source Patterns

A Style is made up of the different Sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each Section has eight separate channels, each of which is referred to as “Source Pattern.” With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the Source Pattern for each channel, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles.

For details, refer to “Basic Operations” in the Owner’s Manual.

Tyros5 Reference Manual

Realtime Recording

In the BASIC page, you can record your original rhythm pattern from the keyboard.

Realtime Recording Characteristics in the Style Creator

• Loop Recording

Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing previously recorded material.

• Overdub Recording

This lets you record new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data.

In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as Rhythm Clear (

page 34 )

and Delete ( page 35

). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material. When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before recording.

 Recording Rhythm Channels 1–2

The procedure below applies to Step 4 in the Basic Procedure on page 32

• If you select an Audio Style as starting data:

Playback of the Audio part can be turned on or off via the [H] button, but it cannot be edited or deleted. Note that the rhythm pattern of this part will be used in the new Style you intend to create. If you want to create a rhythm phrase in addition to the Audio part, follow the steps below.

From the BASIC page, while holding down the [F] (REC CH) button, press the [1 ] or

[2 ] button to select the desired channel as Record target.

• Available Voices for recording

Any except for the Organ World Voices/Drum Kit/SFX kit Voices can be used for recording.

• Record a phrase in C Maj7 (for playing appropriate notes while chords change during performance)

Rules when recording a Main or Fill

With the default initial settings, the Source Root/Chord is set to CMaj7. This means that you should record a

Source Pattern using a CMaj7 scale, which will change according to the chords you specify during normal performance. Record a bass line, phrase or chord backing which you want to hear when CMaj7 is specified. See below for details.

• Use only the CMaj7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B).

• Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).

C R C C R C

C = Chord note

C, R = Recommended note

If you observe this rule, Style playback notes are appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance.

Rules when recording an Intro or Ending

These Sections are designed assuming that the chord is not changed during playback. This is why you need not observe the rule for Main and Fill-In Sections described above, and you can create special chord progressions when recording. However, follow the rules below since the Source Root/Chord is set to CMaj7.

• When recording the Intro, make sure that the recorded phrase leads properly into the CMaj7 scale.

• When recording the Ending, make sure that the recorded phrase begins with or properly follows a CMaj7 scale.

Tyros5 Reference Manual

• Setting the Source Root/Chord if necessary

Although the Source Root/Chord is set to CMaj7 as described above, you can change this to any desired key or chord. Use the TAB [E][F] buttons to call up the PARAMETER page, and set the SOURCE ROOT and

CHORD to the desired Root and Chord type. Keep in mind that when you change the Source Chord from the default CMaj7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change. For details, refer to

page 43 .

Press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button to start recording.

Since already recorded data plays back, use the [1 ]–[8 ] buttons to turn on or off each channel as desired. If you selected an Audio Style as starting data, turn the Audio part on or off via the [H] button.

As soon as loop playback returns to the first beat in the first measure, start playing the bass line, chord backing or phrase to be recorded.

Press the [START/STOP] button to stop playback.

If you want to add more notes, press the [START/STOP] button again to continue recording.

Step Recording

This section applies to Step 4 of the Basic Procedure on

page 32

. After selecting a Section and making other settings on the BASIC page, call up the STEP RECORD display via the instructions below, then execute Step Recording.

1) From the BASIC page, while holding down the [F] (REC CH) button, press one of the [1 ]–[8 ] buttons to select the desired channel as Record target.

2) Use the TAB [F] button to call up the EDIT page.

Edit display.

4) Press the [G] (STEP REC) button to call up the STEP RECORD display.

The Step Recording procedure in the Style Creator is essentially same as that in Song Creator ( page 59

), with the exception of the following points:

• Unlike in Song Creator, the End Mark position cannot be changed in the Style Creator. This is because setting the

Pattern Length on the BASIC page determines the End Mark position. For example, if you select a Section of four measures or you set the Pattern Length to “4” on the BASIC page, the End Mark position is automatically set to the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed.

• Unlike in Song Creator, a Recording channel can be set on the BASIC page. It cannot be set on the EDIT page.

• Unlike in Song Creator, Chord and Lyrics data cannot be entered. This is because such data is not necessary for

Style playback.

For instructions on Step Recording, refer to

pages 60–63

. For information on the EDIT page (Event List display in

Song Creator), refer to page 72

Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if “8

Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if “12 Beat” is selected,

Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets.

Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “8

Beat” and BEAT CONVERTER is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Converter which appear when

ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “12 Beat” are variations on a basic 16th-note setting.

Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the

ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the specified ORIGINAL BEAT value is “8 Beat,” the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with “A” being the most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced.

Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section. The

“PUSH” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while “HEAVY” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat—but not including the first beat—will be played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect.

ROOT TRANS

(Root Transpose)

When the root note is transposed, the interval between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain melody lines.

When playing a C major chord.

When playing an F major chord.

ROOT FIXED The note is kept as close as possible to the previous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of

C become C3, F3 and A3 when they are transposed to F.

Use this setting for channels that contain chord parts.

When playing a C major chord.

When playing an F major chord.

Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2.

Suitable for chordal parts transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord 2 channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts.

When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for melody channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.

In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern.

When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.

HARMONIC MINOR 5th In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.

NATURAL MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of

Creating/Editing Songs (Song Creator)

The Owner’s Manual covers how to create an original Song by recording your keyboard performance (called

“Realtime Recording”). This Reference Manual shows how to create an original Song by entering notes one by one

(called “Step Recording”) and how to improve an already created Song by editing the detailed parameters.

 Realtime Recording and Step Recording

When creating a Song, these two Recording methods are available. With Realtime Recording, this instrument records the performance data as it is played. With Step Recording, you can compose your performance by “writing” it down one event at a time.

This chapter primarily covers the instructions for Step Recording.

 MIDI Song Data Structure

A MIDI Song consists of 16 MIDI channels. You can create data of a MIDI Song by recording your performance to a specific channel or channels in realtime, or by executing the Step Recording.

Re-Recording a Specific Section—Punch In/Out (Realtime Recording)

When re-recording a specific section of an already-recorded Song, use the Punch IN/OUT function. In this method, only the data between the Punch In point and the Punch Out point is overwritten with the newly recorded data. Keep in mind that the notes before and after the Punch In/Out points are not recorded over, although you will hear them play back normally to guide you in the Punch In/Out timing.

Select the desired Song for re-recording.

Call up the operation display.

NORMAL:

Overwrite recording starts when the Song playback is started via the

SONG [F/ K]] (PLAY/PAUSE) button or when you play the keyboard in the Synchro Standby mode.

FIRST KEY ON:

The Song plays back normally, then starts overwrite recording as soon as you play the keyboard.

PUNCH IN AT:

The Song plays back normally up to the beginning of the indicated

Punch In measure, then starts overwrite recording at that point. You can set the

Punch In measure by pressing the [3 ] button.

Determines the Punch Out timing.

REPLACE ALL:

This deletes all data after the point at which recording is stopped.

PUNCH OUT:

The Song position at which recording is stopped is regarded as the

Punch Out point. This setting maintains all data after the point at which recording is stopped.

PUNCH OUT AT:

Actual overwrite recording continues until the beginning of the specified Punch Out measure (set with the corresponding display button), at which point recording stops and normal playback continues. This setting maintains all data after the point at which recording is stopped. You can set the Punch Out measure by pressing the [6 ] buttons.

When this is set to ON, you can use Foot Pedal 2 to control the Punch In and Punch

Out points. While a Song is playing back, pressing (and holding) Foot Pedal 2 instantly enables Punch In recording, while releasing the pedal stops recording (Punch

Out). You can press and release Foot Pedal 2 as often as you want during playback to punch in/out of overwrite recording. Note that the current function assignment of the

Foot Pedal 2 is cancelled when the Pedal Punch In/Out function is set to ON.

NOTE

Pedal Punch In/Out operation may be reversed depending on the particular pedal you’ve connected to the

instrument. If necessary, change the pedal polarity to reverse the control ( page 134 ).

Tyros5 Reference Manual

While holding the SONG [REC] button, select the desired channel from 1–16 on the dis-

Tyros5 Reference Manual

1 QUANTIZE

The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you record the musical phrase shown at right, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way of correcting for this.

STRENGTH

Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized.

Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the Quantize size.

1/8 note triplet*

1/16 note+

1/8 note triplet*

1/16 note+

1/16 note triplet*

The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes—completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.

Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified percentage. Applying less than

100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the recording.

Editing Song Position Markers

This section covers two additional Marker-related features and details. For basic information on using the Markers for jump playback and loop playback, refer to the Owner’s Manual.

 Jump Markers

The Markers explained in the Owner’s Manual are also called “Jump Markers.” In the Event List display (

page 72 ),

they are indicated as “SPJ-01”–“SPJ-04.” In the Event List, they can be moved freely to other positions and can even copied to create identical Marker numbers at other positions. When the same Marker number is contained at different locations in the Song, the latest occurring one is used as a “Loop End Marker” (below).

 Loop End Marker

Loop End Markers can be used for putting additional Markers in Song data, providing even greater versatility.

Creating a Loop End Marker is done within the Event List (and not with the [SP 1]–[SP 4] buttons on the panel), by simply copying one “SPJ” Jump Marker event to another position in the Song.

For basic information on loop playback between successive Jump Markers, refer to the Owner’s Manual.

The examples below show how Loop End Markers can be used in Song playback.

Example 1

Top of the song

[SPJ-01]

Copied within the Event List.

Copied event becomes

Loop End Marker

(1)

[SPJ-01]

(2)

[SPJ-02] [SPJ-03] [SPJ-04]

End of the song

(1) If the Song is playing back between the two SPJ-01 points, turning on [LOOP] will result in a playback loop between those points.

(2) If the Song is playing back between the second SPJ-01 and SPJ-02 and [LOOP] is turned on, playback jumps back to the first SPJ-01 and loops between two SPJ-01 points.

Example 2

Top of the song

(2)

[SPJ-01]

(2)

Copied within the Event List.

[SPJ-02]

Copied event becomes

Loop End Marker

(1)

[SPJ-01] [SPJ-03]

(3)

[SPJ-04]

End of the song

(1) If the Song is playing back between SPJ-02 and the second SPJ-01, turning on

[LOOP] will result in a playback loop between those points.

(2) If the [LOOP] button is turned on while the Song is playing back between the top of the Song and SPJ-02, playback will loop between SPJ-01 and SPJ-02.

(3) If the Song is playing back between the second SPJ-01 and SPJ-03 and

[LOOP] is turned on, playback jumps back to SPJ-02 and loops between SPJ-

02 and the second SPJ-01 (Loop End Marker).

In the examples above, the actual data of the Loop End Marker is identical to the event it was copied from—only the location of the copied Marker provides it with this different function.

In Song playback, the markers formatted as “SPJ-xxxxx” (xxxxx: any character except 01–04 and any number of letters is OK) are handled as Loop End Markers.

Since the Event List in the Song Creator function does not let you freely name

Markers, the instructions above are recommended for creating new Markers.

However, with sequence software on a computer, you can create new Markers and assign appropriate names to them. By naming Markers in this way, you can easily distinguish between Loop End Markers and Jump Markers in the Event List.

NOTE

Loop playback problems may occur if successive Markers are too close to one another.

NOTE

When the effect settings of the jump destination (the position you’re jumping to) differ from those at the jump source, glitches or drop-outs in the sound may result. This is because of limitations in the effect processors of the Tyros5.

NOTE

When using the Guide function

( page 56

) with jump playback, keep in mind that the Guide indication may not be able to stay in time with the jumps.

(1) Normalize

Normalize raises the volume of the recorded audio to the optimum level. Use this to make the recorded audio as loud as possible, without distortion. Technically, this operation scans the recorded file for the highest level, then raises the volume of the entire file so that the highest peak is set to the maximum, non-distorting level. Normalization is calculated for the loudest signal found in either channel of the stereo recording and the same gain is applied to both channels.

Press the [F] (TRACK SELECT) button to select the track to be normalized.

Press the [I] (NORMALIZE) button.

At the prompt, press the [G] (OK) button to start normalizing the selected track.

To cancel the operation, press the [H] (CANCEL) button.

(2) Adjusting the Volume Balance

On the TRACK PLAY meter, you can adjust the volume of Main and Sub tracks separately. Use the [4 ]/[6 ] buttons or sliders to adjust the Main/Sub track volume.

By using the [3 ]/[5 ] buttons, you can also mute the Main/Sub tracks.

NOTE

To control overall volume of the audio file, press the [BALANCE] button once or twice to call up the BALANCE (2/2) display, then use the [4

] slider or buttons.

Re-recording the Multi Track Recording File

The created Multi Track recording data can be re-recorded in the following five ways.

• Replace the whole data: NORMAL REC ........................................................See below

• Mix the recorded data: NORMAL REC (PLUS PLAYBACK).......................See below

• Replace a certain range of the data: PUNCH IN/OUT.................................See page 85

• Overdub a certain range of the data: PUNCH IN/OUT (MERGE) ..............See page 85

• Merge the Main and Sub tracks to the Main track: BOUNCE

............................................................................................. See Multi Track Recording

NOTE

Re-recording of the data repeatedly will result in deterioration of the sound quality.

NOTICE

The data is automatically saved in the internal HDD, but you want to backup your data before rerecording. Copying is the easiest way to do this. However, since copying within a folder in the HDD is not possible, you need to create a new folder. For details on file management, refer to the

Owner’s Manual.

NORMAL REC / NORMAL REC (PLUS PLAYBACK)

You can replace the whole audio data of a track by NORMAL REC or mix the audio data with the previous one by NORMAL REC (PLUS PLAYBACK). The NORMAL REC

(PLUS PLAYBACK) method does not add any tracks but simply mixes the new recording to the existing data. After stopping recording, any data following the stop point will be erased.

Execute Steps 1–5 in “Editing the Recorded Data (Multi Track

Recording File)” on page 82 to select the data to be re-

recorded.

NOTE

Since you will be overdubbing parts onto this audio, it’s best to keep the first recording simple. For example, you may want to record just a rhythm pattern

(such as by playing back a Style) or a simple bass riff over which you can add other parts.

Use the [F] (TRACK SELECT) button to select the track to be re-recorded.

Use the [B]/[C] buttons to select a recording method.

• Replace the whole data: NORMAL REC

• Mix the recorded data: NORMAL REC (PLUS PLAYBACK)

If you select “NORMAL REC (PLUS PLAYBACK),” play back the recorded audio and practice the part that you want to overdub while the audio is playing. Change the volume settings if necessary.

If you wish to add a keyboard-played Voice from the Tyros5, select the desired Voice. If you wish to record your singing voice or an external instrument, connect a microphone or instrument and make the appropriate settings.

Adjust the Track Play and Rec Monitor levels here as desired.

Press the [REC] button to enable recording.

Tyros5 Reference Manual

Press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button to start recording.

Play the keyboard (or sing, etc.) and record your performance.

When finished recording, press the [STOP] button.

After stopping recording, the data will be erased from the stop point.

To hear your new recording, press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button.

If you’ve made a mistake or you’re not completely satisfied with your performance, press the [EXIT] button to return to the AUDIO RECORDER/PLAYER display, then undo the NORMAL REC/NORMAL REC (PLUS PLAYBACK) operation by pressing the [G] (UNDO) button.

NOTE

The playback sound of the other (not yet rerecorded) track is not recorded to the track.

NOTE

The Audio Recorder/Player automatically reduces the level of the previous track by a certain, slight amount to accommodate the new recording. This is done to minimize possible distortion.

You can use the Normalize effect to maximize the volume of the overall

sound. For details, see page 83

PUNCH IN OUT / PUNCH IN OUT (MERGE)

This method of recording can only be used on an existing recording. It allows you to rerecord over a specific part of the already-recorded material. You can replace the original part with the new recording by PUNCH IN/OUT, or keeping the original and mixing it with the new by PUNCH IN/OUT (MERGE). This lets you either correct a mistake in the recording or overdub new parts onto the original recording.

Keep in mind that the parts before and after the Punch In/Out section are not recorded over and remain as the original data—they play back normally to guide you in and out of the recording.

Original Data Re-recorded Data Original Data

NOTE

You can re-record over only one range at one time.

NOTE

The beginning and ending of the recorded data using the Punch In/Out function is faded in/out automatically.

This is done to minimize possible noise at the beginning and ending of the recorded data. We recommend that you specify the beginning and ending points at sections in the data where the volume is low.

Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next. The Portamento Time determines the pitch transition time. Higher values result in a longer pitch change time. Setting this to “0” results in no effect. This parameter is available only when the selected keyboard part is set to

Mono.

Determines the range of the PITCH BEND wheel for each keyboard part. The range is from “0” to “12” with each step corresponding to one semitone.

Determines the range of the pitch change in octaves, over two octaves up or down for each keyboard part. The value set here is added to the setting made via the OCTAVE [-

]/[+] buttons.

Determines the pitch of each keyboard part in cents.

NOTE

In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)

Allows you to set transposition for overall sound of the instrument (MASTER), Song playback (SONG), or keyboard pitch (KBD), respectively. Please note that the “KBD” setting also transposes the pitch of Style playback and the Multi Pads (since these are also affected by keyboard play in the left-hand section).

Editing EFFECT Parameters

This instrument features eleven Effect Blocks, giving you powerful tools to richly enhance the sounds of the instrument or completely transform them. The Effects are divided into the following groups:

 Reverb, Chorus

The Effects of these Blocks are applied to the overall sound or all Parts. In each of these Effect Blocks, you can select only one Effect Type at a time and adjust the Send Level (Depth) for each Part as well as the Return Level for all Parts.

 DSP1

When the Connection is set to “System” on the EFFECT PARAMETER EDIT display (

page 120

), the Effects of this

Block are applied only to the Style and Song sounds. In this status, you can select only one Effect Type at a time and adjust the Send Level (Depth) for each Part as well as Return Level for all Parts. When the Connection is set to

“Insertion” on the EFFECT PARAMETER EDIT display, the Effect of this Block is applied to a specific channel of the Style and Song.

 DSP2-9

The Effects of these Blocks are applied to a specific Part or Channel, with the exception of the Multi Pads and microphone input. Different Effect Types can be selected for each of the available Parts or Channels.

Adjusting the Effect Depth for Each Part

Use the [B]–[E] or [G]–[J] buttons to select the desired Effect Block, then use the [1 ]–[8 ] buttons to adjust the Effect Depth for each Part.

Editing EQ Parameters

Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands that can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound from speakers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too “boomy,” or boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound is relatively “dead” and free of echoes.

As shown below, this instrument possesses a high grade five-band Master EQ which is applied to the entire sound. You can select one of five preset EQ types and create two User Master EQ types by editing the related parameters. In addition to the Master EQ, Part EQ is available, letting you boost/cut the high band or low band for each Part.

Basically the same as “ALL PARTS” with the exception of how keyboard parts are managed.

The right-hand parts are handled as “UPPER” instead of RIGHT 1–3 and the left-hand part is handled as “LOWER.”

In this setting, the Tyros5 functions as a “master” keyboard, for playing and controlling one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/sequencer).

Basically the same as “Master KBD1” above, with the exception that After Touch messages are not transmitted.

Playback or recording (Song, Style, Multi Pad, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead of the Tyros5’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the tempo on the MIDI device connected to the Tyros5. Playback or recording of the Tyros5 synchronizes with an external clock received via MIDI A.

MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you play melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the Tyros5 with the left-hand buttons.

Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception that the chord/bass notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are recognized also as MIDI note events.

MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the chord root in

Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit (connected to MIDI B only).

This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal unit (connected to MIDI B only).

MIDI System Settings

The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM page in step 4 on page 136 .

Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the parameters (below), then set the ON/OFF status by using the [1 ]–[8 ] buttons.

 1 Local Control

Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument’s tone generator section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instrument’s internal Voices, and use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator.

 2 Clock setting, etc.

CLOCK

Determines whether the tempo of the Songs, Styles, etc. are controlled by the instrument’s own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI, USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock signal.

NOTE

• When CLOCK is set to a value other than INTERNAL, the tempo is indicated as “EXT.” on the Main display.

This means that playback of this instrument is controlled only from an external MIDI device or computer. In this condition, Styles, Songs, Multi

Pads or the Metronome cannot be played back even if you execute the start operation.

• When the Wireless LAN Adaptor is connected to the USB TO DEVICE terminal, the “WIRELESS LAN” parameter appears.

TRANSMIT CLOCK

Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to OFF, no MIDI clock or

Start/Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back.

RECEIVE TRANSPOSE

Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose setting is applied to the note events received by the instrument via MIDI.

START/STOP

Determines whether incoming start and stop messages (FA, FC) affect Song or Style playback.

 3 MESSAGE SW (Message Switch)

SYS/EX.

The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI System Exclusive messages on or off. The “Rx” setting turns

MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI System Exclusive messages generated by external equipment on or off.

CHORD SYS/EX.

The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord exclusive data (Chord Detect, root and type) on or off.

The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external equipment on or off.

Use the [3 ] buttons to select the channel via which the

selected part will be transmitted.

Use the [4 ]–[8 ] button to determine the types of data

to be sent.

The following MIDI messages can be set on the TRANSMIT/RECEIVE display.

NOTE

(1–16) flash briefly whenever any data is received on the channel(s).

NOTE

Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1 ]/[2 ] buttons to select the channel to be received.

The instrument can receive MIDI messages over 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) by USB connection.

Use the [3 ] buttons to select the part via which the selected channel will be

received.

The Parts listed on this display are the same as those shown in the MXING CONSOLE display and CHANNEL

ON/OFF display with the exception of the following parts.

KEYBOARD

The received note messages control the instrument’s keyboard performance.

EXTRA PART 1–4

These are five parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not used by the instrument itself. The instrument can be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by using these five parts in addition to the other parts (excepting the microphone sound).

Use the [4 ]–[8 ] button to determine the types of data to be received.

Bass Note Settings for Style Playback via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the BASS page in step 4 on

page 136 . These settings let you determine the bass note

for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass note of the chord of Style playback. The bass note will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] or split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels.

Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the desired row of channels.

Use the [1 ]–[8 ] buttons to set specific channels to ON or OFF.

You can also set all channels to OFF by pressing the [I] (ALL OFF) button.

Chord Type Settings for Style Playback via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT page in step 4 on page 136 . This page lets you select the MIDI

channels over which the MIDI data from the external device will be used to detect the Chord Type for Style playback.

The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the notes for detecting chords in

Style playback. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The chord types will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] or split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the chord type is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels.

The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the BASS display above.
